COACH APPROACH PROGRAM

A Coach Approach Training and Mentoring Program for Executives and Managers

Imagine a work environment where everyone speaks the language of coaching.

Leading with Intention uses a comprehensive approach to assist our clients to create a coaching culture in their organization. The Coach Approach training and mentoring program builds capacity for executives and managers to become effective coach leaders.

What It Does

The Coach Approach program teaches executives and managers how to seamlessly incorporate coaching skills into their everyday interactions, integrating a “coach approach” into their relationships, both inside and outside the organization. The program incorporates the core competencies of professional coaching and is designed with proven adult learning methodology that emphasizes experiential learning, interactivity, and application to each organization’s unique work environment.

As leaders transparently model coaching skills and conduct coaching conversations with their teams, the language of coaching becomes universal throughout the organization resulting in increased engagement, higher performance, and overall workplace satisfaction. That is the essence of a coaching culture.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the Coach Approach training, participants are able to:

  • Recognize the principles behind coaching, and how coaching differs from other types of developmental and management approaches
  • Distinguish between when to coach and when not to coach: coachable situations and other kinds of situations
  • Apply the Coaching Conversation Model as a whole and in parts
  • Integrate a series of coaching skills into their professional conversations
  • Integrate a “coach approach” in their role
  • Initiate and manage difficult conversations
  • Skillfully provide constructive feedback

    Group Mentor Program

    The Group Mentor program is a six month follow up program to the Coach Approach training. It provides mentoring and support for training participants who are learning how to integrate a coach approach in their everyday lives at work.  While the training gives them a solid foundation to learn this approach, the ongoing group solidifies the learning by applying the skills to real life situations that participants encounter following the training.

    How It Works

    Following their participation in the training, participants are placed in smaller groups of no more than eight participants. The group composition is determined by the client organization and the training facilitator. Each group meets monthly for one hour by video-conferencing/phone/etc. with one of the Coach Approach training facilitators.

    • Participants bring coaching questions, successes and challenges to each meeting
    • Facilitators provide a structure for participants to give and receive input and feedback to one another
    • Participants share best practices in applying the coach approach
    • Facilitator provides mentoring and support in response to the participants’ questions and challenges
    • Participants learn a group model that they can eventually adopt on their own  without the facilitator’s presence
